The Lost City of Utopia

Description

Chanyeol doesn't have an opinion. He doesn't think it will help him to get out of this boredom. But There are so many things he wants to know. As in, why there are suddenly so many unexplained event falling on this small, forgotten and vulnerable town? He feels bored, as if he doesn't have any reason to keep living, and no reason to stop doing so. Until one day, he doesn't remember which, the forgotten town he is living in become suddenly smaller, oxygen become rarer, every littlest thing seems as if it is needed to give attention.  Everything starts with a storm, continue with friendship, falls with curiosity, breaks with the truth, and finally disappears with, again, a storm. He can do it. He can fight fate. 

(He doesn't know he has to, but they will help him)

Foreword

Chanyeol couldn't feel any pleased with himself anymore. Here, he could only smirk, satisfied with his discovery. It may be the first time he stepped in the school's library, that took two and a half of the school's classroom. Quite huge. What bothered him, no, what intrigued him the most was, how that  a work of this type could be found in the school's library. Chanyeol is sure such a book would be hard to find in huge library like the one in the huge city a several kilometers apart, the city you should have an identity card to get in. Then why in here? He doesn't know. Small town big resources. 

The old book is put on one of the library table, buried under many rows of shelves away from any human eye. It seems as if it would break apart at any moment, so Chanyeol turn the torn up cover slowly. The first twenty page are boring, yet Chanyeol can't get himself to skip them. He is engrossed in the almost ripped pages' content when, much to his misfortune, the school's bell ring, closing lunch time. Chanyeol suddenly realize how much time he spent in the library, and he doesn't know why he isn't surprised. 

"What?" his voice breaks in a higher tone, mirroring his angered and dumbfound, when the obstinate librarian repeats a second time that she's not taking any borrowing when the bell ring. Surprised he has to be, as it is indeed the very first time he stepped into the library's not so welcoming room. As unfriendly and not so nice she seems, Chanyeol decides not to argue further any more and simply mutter a few curse directed to her and fly to his classroom, strongly trowing his foot against the wooded floor to let his anger out. Just when things get interesting, he thinks. Anyways he'll borrow it tomorrow.

Surprise, when he get in, almost late, there is a boy standing next to the digital board. He seems a little intimated by the commotion, still in his old uniform, not that Chanyeol cares. All he think is about the book and it's interesting content, as if every word is an enigma or a big discovery that makes everything clearer. The mere fact of wondering about the book's content excites him That's all he things about, head turned to the thee that stand next to the window, as if listening to the lecture every passing day. If Chanyeol gave the littlest thought on the new student, it would be only wondering which college he is from, looking from his neat and nice looking uniform.

Okay, he made some real interesting discovery in the school's library, but in no way he knew the day was going to be such... interesting and life changing. 

"Heyya, Chanyeol, right?" Kim Jongdae pats his shoulder. Everyone eyes them both suspiciously by the school's gate.
